It is time to advance coordinated and strong

The debate on the industrial strategy of our country was relaunched with force for several months: national borrowing and the States General of the industry have helped clarify what were the forces of the French industry.

These exchanges have been an opportunity to recall some evidence: the industry creates sustainable jobs, wealth, of the value. It is essential to create the growth of our developed countries.

Far from objecting to the services, it supports their activity, and generates new. It will bring, by the innovation that it brings, responses to societal issues that arise today and will transform these needs in new markets with a renewed development mode.

In summary, the observation is made: no country can hope to develop in a sustainable way without a strong, competitive industry. The equation is now well established: "fabless jobless."

What is surprising is that our main competitors already understood for a long time, and to are structured to define and implement a genuine industrial strategy at the national level: China, the Japan, the Korea, but also the United States or the Germany Not a narrow dogmatism, these countries, yet cantors, most of them, globalized liberalism, have been preserving their interests, promote the development of their industry, while taking into account the benefits of the opening of the markets. In this concert, the France has been dramatically absent for too long, forgetting the success of nuclear power, the rail, aeronautics, from spatial

Yes, in France industry and associated services have assets to address new markets, meet needs, simplify and improve the lives of our fellow citizens: in health, the environment, security and trust numérique Does that lack a co-ordinated, discussed and shared strategy, and the consistency in action!

But now that the debate was conducted, the findings laid the first actions launched, risk arises from a lack of overall consistency and parallel initiatives which, far from reinforcing, can to disrupt one, the other.

The Government proposes the creation of a national industry conference. But beyond that, we must now create the strategic advice of dies, in the first rank of which that of electronic and digital technologies claimed unanimously by the actors: the subject is too central to our future collective to achieve new development issues that are Smart Grids, Cloud Computing, telehealth, high flow, the intelligent highway, etc.

The risk today is that of a disconnect between strategic projects defined by the States General of the industry and funding by the Commissioner of general investment, resulting from the large loan. The main tool of public investment policies to be closely coordinated with the national policy bodies is essential! Otherwise, runs the risk to see a simple ventilation merely tactical and administrative issues amounts of the loan, generating a lack of coordination on strategic and major subjects that relate to many industries.

Need us to coordinate, break, forcing to work together in die around flexible, lightweight, cross-cutting, and temporary structures, toward a common goal. Prepare effectively the future assumes now run-mode projects to associate an identified goal, all stakeholders relevant, public, private, labs, universities, competitiveness clusters, salariés

This is true for industry and services, at the level of companies, and their representatives, but it is also true for administrations and the public sphere. The time is no longer in the battle of ego or power. It is time to advance coordinated and strong. Let us forget our gauloiseries, hunt in Pack!
